#2 Ability to play his natural game in all conditions

Sharma's strength lies in his natural game, which is taking the attack to the opposition. His ability to play attacking cricket in pressure situations can pay huge dividends on foreign pitches.
The classic example can be illustrated in the India Sri Lanka Test series in 2015 when it was leveled at 1-1. India were in a spot of bother when Sharma came to bat and were losing their way on 7 for 3 in the second innings.
Unfazed by the tricky situation and tough batting conditions, he followed his natural instinct to attack, and played small cameo scoring brilliant fifty, which gave India a substantial lead to defend. As a result, India won the series by 2-1 on Sri Lankan soil.
